Diverse seductiveness

Diverse seductiveness

Some love marigoldssome radiant roses with velvet foldsand then there is weedIt creeps on its kneesswallowing beautyBut is it true?Didn't we decide"we name you weed"like man declared 'unwanted'for being differentAren't there sacred threadsbetween him and entire existenceall bathing in beautywhich sometimes nestlesbeyond the surfaceexposed by loving eyesDon't feed your mindwith fear for undiscovered landIn your heart rekindle a flameof eternal longing to loveno matter the nameOnly diversity can createan enchanting bouquetLet your warmth nourisheach flower to unfoldits seductiveness.

A wonderful prompt Marja and I love your inspiring responses.Long, long ago I enjoyed tinkering with poetry but I find it difficult now.My mind is so busy now and filled with things I have to remember - sad I know!!

How true, what we call weeds are just flowers with a extraordinary will to procreate. They are no less beautiful by being abundant, just pushy perhaps. It may be that long ago mankind nourished the shy flowers who were being bullied and took up their cause. Pity they didn't do this with all the other created things that they have wiped out. Just watch children gather wild flowers for they will collect mainly weeds; this must tell us a lot!

haha weed is pushy Some might be bullies but maybe they became like that when flowers like the rose pricked them. Yes children are pure and make no differences between anything till their parents say don't pick weed

Wonderful poem Marja so true we are the ones who give Weeds their names of being weeds, and yet they are perhaps the most beautiful and delicate.. Daisies are our silver, Buttercups are Gold, .. We played this Hymn at my Dads funeral as he loved walking in nature and among the wild flowers.. Thank you for your wonderful poem.. it was beautiful..

1. Daisies are our silver, Buttercups our gold: This is all the treasure We can have or hold.

2. Raindrops are our diamonds And the morning dew; While for shining sapphires We've the speedwell blue.

3. These shall be our emeralds Leaves so new and green; Roses make the reddest Rubies ever seen.

4. God, who gave these treasures To your children small, Teach us how to love them And grow like them all.

5. Make us bright as silver: Make us good as gold; Warm as summer roses Let our hearts unfold.

6. Gay as leaves in April, Clear as drops of dew God, who made the speedwell, Keep us true to you.

"Didn't we decide"we name you weed"like man declared 'unwanted'for being differentAren't there sacred threads"

Such a good thought for humanity ... we don't consider we've all got something to give back to life ... whether disabled in some way or another ... weeds too ... as they say 'a weed is a flower in the wrong place, but right for it to grow' ...
